While watching a video of a 36-year-old woman who embraced her independence by moving abroad and leaving a past relationship behind, I felt a deep connection to her story. Her newfound empowerment was inspiring, but the negative feedback she received about her life choices—being childless and unmarried—stung deeply. At 38, single, and confronting the reality of possibly not having children, I grapple with similar feelings. However, I focus on the joy and fulfillment I’ve built in my life, knowing that I am responsible for creating my own happiness. This journey has taught me that I am enough just as I am, and I continue to find joy and purpose through travel, meaningful connections, and personal growth.
